00:00It looks like, why are we even wasting time playing this series?

00:03A minus 7,000 price on the Celtics to advance over the Orlando Magic.

00:08It looks like it's supposed to be, Coach, a de facto sweep.

00:11So before we get into will the Celtics win this series, which they probably will,

00:14what can the Orlando Magic do against the Boston Celtics to make this a competitive series?

00:20They got to lean on their defense.

00:22They have to be dialed in defensively.

00:24And he didn't score the ball well.

00:27Well, defensively, Paulo Bencaro, if you watch that game,

00:31I saw him so engaged in pick-and-roll coverage and how he's defending

00:35that I was like, damn, I didn't even know Paulo had it in him to do this.

00:39So, listen, the way that Jamal Mosley coaches his team

00:43is they're going to be a tougher out than people expect.

00:49I think Boston's going to absolutely win the series,

00:51but can I see Orlando getting a game and giving Boston a scare in another game?

00:57Absolutely.

00:58I mean, they hang their hats on the defensive end of the floor.

01:02And when defense is your absolute, you're always going to give yourself

01:06some sort of chance to win.

01:09And let's be honest, guys, you know, during the regular season,

01:12they have played.

01:13Orlando did.

01:15Listen, we can't count the game, the 20-point win on the night.

01:18But they do have a 108-104 win during the season.

01:21They're going to find a way to keep this close

01:24and maybe steal a game, maybe two in the series.

01:28So, that's the question, J.Y., because we see what the oddsmakers are expecting.

01:32Minus 7,000 for the Seas to win it outright.

01:35You look at the series spread.

01:37You look at the series correct score.

01:39Boston a win in four.

01:41That is a sweep is the most likely option.

01:45So, you're calling it now.

01:46Orlando wins at least one game to at least get to five.

01:50How do you see this series?

01:52What would be the official prediction?

01:54I said it's going to go 4-1.

01:55If I could have got it plus 3.5, under 150, I would jump in there.

02:02But if you're asking me series correct score, I think it's 4-1.

02:05I think Orlando finds a way to win one.

02:08And then if you really think about it, this is one of the best teams defensively.

02:12And Boston shoots such a crazy amount of threes.

02:16All you need is one game for them to go off.

02:19If you think about the 108-104 loss, I think Boston shot about 23 or 24 percent

02:24from the three-point line.

02:25If you're able to defend the three, Ben, and get them to get misses

02:29and secure the first rebound, you could steal a game.

02:33If I can get it under 150, I'm going plus 3.5.

02:36But if you're asking me to score, I'm going 4-1.

02:39They'll get one game.
